I'm not a DEB fan either but GroveSocial is on Ubuntu so we've been working with it recently.
Isn't it generally considered that debian based systems are for consumers and rpm based systems for business? That's what I always tend to see. Anything applied to business practices always uses RPMs. FWIW
Not really, it's that RedHat and it's subsequent distros have larger support groups, both historically and currently, than Debian. As a consequence, RPM and YUM are de-facto standards. Ubuntu was built around the consumer theory hence why it's got so many consumer friendly services like GNOME.
It's not that Debian or Fedora or any other fork in the kernel is better or worse, it's just one of the usual schisms that evolves in a non-centralized non-directionalized distribution. Once again, like vi, it's not used for any specific reason other than zealotry.
Real men compile from source.
